A newly discovered pathway suggests histone proteins H3 and H4 are imported into the nucleus as individual units rather than joined together as heterodimers as was previously thought.

The histone chaperone Vps75 forms multiple oligomeric assemblies capable of mediating exchange between histone H3–H4 tetramers and Asf1–H3–H4 complexes [PDF]
Wellcome Trust [094090, 097945, 099149]; Medical Research Council [G1100021]. Funding for open access charge: Wellcome Trust.Vps75 is a histone chaperone that has been historically characterized as homodimer by X-ray crystallography.

New chaps in the histone chaperone arena [PDF]
Understanding exactly how chromatin is assembled is paramount to addressing how select histone modifications may be transmitted, a putative epigenetic process. In the June 15, 2010, issue of Genes & Development, Drané and colleagues (pp. 1253–1265) identified DAXX as a novel H3.3-specific chaperone.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Structural investigation of nucleophosmin interaction with the tumor suppressor Fbw7γ [PDF]
Nucleophosmin (NPM1) is a multifunctional nucleolar protein implicated in ribogenesis, centrosome duplication, cell cycle control, regulation of DNA repair and apoptotic response to stress stimuli.
